awe at the man who sat next to him. He

hunched down in his chair, miserably staring unseeing into a
glass of wine. On the table in front of him

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Twell, there feel like a baseball of bets my the doctor.
Oh look, here's the doctor now, just to come in, hey, doc.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
The doctor looked in hur direction when Tony called and
strowed over to the table. A big six foot three
blonde guy and the Joe McCrae Gary Cooper tradition. Yeah,
I don't like him right away, no bedside man out
of his doctor, although he could have had as much
of it as he liked. He was all business and
no shitting. But I told you to go to bed
and stay that well, doc, I used to want to
have a concussion to it. I'll be back here in

Speaker 2 (07:21):
All right, all right from doctor hands. I don't know
X ray is the whole thing. I don't know how
I'm gonna tell you.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Never mind that. That's why we charge on nob Hill
patients a lextra, so we're able to do something like
this once in a while. This will be on me, Tony.
He'll go to the kind of man and doctor all right,
I don't know what to say. You will go on

are usually take to. Yeah, that's try. Well. I know
about you. You did something for Collie to mind Murphy
after Raoul Murphy. Yeah, I did a job him last summer. Yeah.
He gave you a great standoff, he said, said, what
is all this tonight? Down here? Detectives police, police, how

(08:10):
do you mean? Well, and I think of the police,
five or six plain clothes guys. They were waiting here
on this side when the ferry pulled into slip. They're
still there holding the boat. I just left him, and
what were they doing? Talked to all the passengers as
they came off, asked us for identification. Hey, what do
you think about Pony's little experience? And he knocked down
my head. Oh. They were mighty interested natually, especially when

(08:30):
I told him how I thought the wound had been inflicted,
which was done but gun by ehh, I'd say so.
Always know, as I saw enough of those in the war.
The Russians used to club prisoners over the head that
way to stave the ammunition, and then fluing the guys
in the river. Oh hey, I've got to go that
very right again. What the p yeah got patient over
in Oakland had to come back over here to pick

(08:52):
up some serum pulling the nurse and she met me
just out here. Well, nice Casenia, sam or tell u
what's his name? Tony? Wait a minute, doc, I've got
nothing to do. I'll right over with you. A little
air won't do this dinner any harm. We crossed the
streets went into the ferry building. Everything was normal enough
in the main waiting room when I stopped to buy

(09:13):
cigarette and a pocket flash line. But outside on the dock,
where the Oakland boat was waiting to take off, there
were a number of extra characters whom you wouldn't think
would have chosen a dismal chili night like this for
waterfront lounging. There wasn't anybody I knew, And in any
gathering of plain clothesmen local variety, I generally spot one
or two familiar faces. Doctor Rains and I got aboard,

(09:34):
followed by three of these gentlemen. The broad us one
who was built for endurance, exchanged pleasant grazes with us
as they boat moved out into the water. How about
doctor Rams, I say, you didn't miss the boat like
they'll say, No, Oh, you're one of the fellas I
talked to before, and you landed as right. I don't
think I got your name. Connelley Donally, this missus Stade? Yeah,

(09:56):
would that be Lieutenant Connolly or Sonzant? Maybe that's Connelly.
How a special title. I's a little fellow doing doctor Hello,
she tony, he's under care? He talk anymore? Say anything interesting?
I didn't talk to him to stay here? Did Oh? Really? Really?
What you have to say? Well, do you see, I'm
an old friend of his family. What he told me

(10:18):
was in confidence, and I really have to know a
little more about who I'm telling you a secret too.
I say, Spade, your name was Phil, is nice to
meet you, and god go. Spageen means nothing to you.
It might go spagean sounds like another word somebody might think.
He said custody. That's very funny. Hey, you're gonna stay

(10:41):
out here on deck? You haven't made up my mind?
Is that? Okay? I'll go inside. I have a little
coffee at the snack bars. Comfortable ride is over before
you know it. I hear it's foggy, wet and miserable.
Well I'm going in. I'll say you let in. Goodbody going. Well,
maybe he's right, although I must say he's not gonna
paperite man in the world, and mister currently it is

(11:02):
a strict a pneumonia weather out here on deck sigging
not just yet for me here. I think I'll stretch
my legs a little. Doc tell me or was it
that Tony got caught on the upper deck? I know,
but which side were turned around now Saburn, that's about
directly about now Worth tend Yeah, uh, don't point, doc,
our friend Connelly and as the boys or I'm our

(11:22):
way out to sea as it I know they went
back in. Do you think there's mysterious as they think?
Oh definitely that you know what made him turn back?
Just now decide it wasn't necessary to check whether we
were still here. No what they can't make us out
out here. It's two dock, but I can see two
lighted cigarettes. Sam Spade, detective mm hmm. Look, even in
the face of pneumonia, you want to get up there

(11:42):
and look around. But Johnie, wats don't you I do.
I'll hand me your cigarette and I'll smoke them both
the yard apart and we'll both be here. Steph you
austillam m D masterful thinking, Doc, go ahead, I'll be here.
So I tried the slipper affairs for the upper deck.
The fog was as wet as rain. I couldn't see

(12:03):
any more than inches ahead of me with my flashlight. Finally,
I stopped about a midship and looked down over the
rail aims and his two cigarettes, tiny red dots of
light that grew brighter every now and then as he
puffed at him. Were almost directly beneath me, so I
knew I would just about right. A sudden noise over
my head made me shoot my light up toward It
came from a piece of canvas. They had suddenly ripped loose,
the canvas that covered the top of a life boat.

(12:25):
I got up there somehow and perched precariously, holding out
of two seal supports that one arm. The piece of
canvas had been ripped open with a knife, a whole
large enough for a man's body to get through. And
that's what was in there, spoiled in the bottom of
the life boat, a man's body. He'd been stabbed in

(12:45):
the neck. This was the man who had plugged honey,
or so it seemed, because the gun was still clenched
in his right hand barrel reverse. There was nothing in
his pockets, just a handkerchief from two dollars and change.
But my flash caught a seck or something white one
of his shoes. It was a bit of paper with
two type written line. I routed myself down to the deck.
We loved the circulation back into my arm. Or I've
been holding on and preprayed to read the note, and

(13:06):
that's when my flashlight went there. I broke about, cursing
him for not checking their battle eve until I found
a faint, ghosted glimmer of light over head, out over
the edge of the ship, on the outside of the rail.
I climbed over, studied myself against lurching, and with a
couple of matches it said international postcard shot serious sweet

(13:28):
SF reading card for Boor. I put a bit of
paper in my pocket and turned to climb back over
the rail, and then something.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Came out me from the flash.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
It caught me pull in the center of the forehead,
and when my stagers came again like a block, I
would on the top of my head and made it
burns a sudden fire. Tiny points of light glided in
the black, came rushing towards me and grew larger, and
I felt clashing over the side. They tell you a
lot about what you'll remember when you're going down for

(13:59):
the third fine. You know what I remember? I remember
that Gusta Yeen is Russian for Comrade Sam's faith Detectic.
You are listening to the weekly adventure of radio's most
famous detective Sam Faith. Imagine the greatest names in stage,

(14:33):
screen and radio, people like Bob Hope, Roslind Russell, Meredith Wilson,
Frankie Lane, and many many others. Imagine an hour and
a half of the very finest in comedy, music, and drama.
Imagine all this rolled into one wonderful program presided over
by the distaff dynamo t Lula Bankhead Well, NBC has
the program It's the Big Show, heard every Sunday night

(14:55):
over most of these stations. All this and Tallula too,
no wonder It's the Big Show, and Sunday Evening also
means Theater Guild on the air. This Sundae Theater Guild
presents Boomerang, Dying, Kirk Douglass and now back to the
two five, one, two, three, five, six, seven nine Caper,

(15:17):
The Night's Adventure with Sam's fade, I found myself mechanically
keeping a close somehow and trying to get out of
my overcoat. My eyes burned, I felt heavy and live,
as if I swallowed gallons of water. My head began
to clear a little, but with returning consciousness came increased

(15:38):
pain pretty bad too, from out of a missing planket,
from every direction, and a dozen different keys from near
and foghorn sounded. I knew that by now the current
has swept me out of the path of the Oakland Ferries.
The water was chilling, and I turned over and began swimming.
It's just hard enough to keep a blood circulating. The
lights of a foot came into sight suddenly, and I
flew back my head and yelled. But the horn, crying

(16:03):
its warnings, bown me out, and.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
The mode went on, and a fog closed in behind me,
and then I found myself full of a strange.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
And wonderful weariness. The water wasn't cold anymore. I was
worn with a comfortable, soothing numbness, and I knew what
to do. I'd swim until I didn't hear the noise
of the horns anymore, and then, in the quiet of
the friendly fog, go to sleep. So I began to doze,
and then some lights came into my eyes, and I
wanted to stay in the dark, and I turned my

(16:37):
face down into the embrace of the war. And then
I wasn't where you'd expect at all. I was lying
on a baggage truck that was moving. The people were
cloying along walking beside the buck staring at me, a
guy in uniform wheeling. They noticed I had my eyes open.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Wow, Hello, how welcome back to the unire stray?

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Hello? What part of the United States?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Just landing in tot Aledo?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
They still, We'll take you over in a hot sauce Soledo.
How long before this boat gets cycled? San Francisco?

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Try the way I'm going you write in no cons thanks,
I'll be okay.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Half an hour later, shivering and shaking in my wet clothes,
keeping my mouth clamped heights or my teeth wouldn't sound
like a dice game, I climbed into a taxi at
the Ferry Building and went to my apartment. There I
swallowed half a pine or whiskey and rubbed myself with
a coarse towel until my skin was sore. Then I
looked in the pocket of the soggy suit i'd hung
up to dry the stew. There a piece of paper

(17:36):
from the dead man's shoe. Damp but legible International postcard
shop Geary Street. That's a reading card, but boris. I
got up to put on a dry suit and then
changed my mind. Put the wet one back on. Good evening.
Are you the proprietor here?

Speaker 3 (17:57):
This was like that six years at the same locations.
Oh you were, My goodness, is it raining out?

Speaker 1 (18:03):
You really got a dousing? Yes? I did a nice
collection of post cards from all right, South America everything.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yes, yes, I tried myself on having the most complete
possible selection.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Was there something you have especially in my Yes there was.
I'm looking for a greeting current for Boris. What's the matter,
didn't Jeremy? Yes? Didn't you understand? Well, well, what it's a.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Leader that I didn't exactly expect somebody like you.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
What did you expect somebody slinking around in a pulse mustache,
wearing dark glasses and an inverness cape. You know, you know,
with your type of thinking, you may not be the
right man for this job.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Gus Page, No, no, wait, please, mister you boff I
thought you were dead you browned?

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah? Who told you about with you alone? Yeah? Well
I didn't drown. I jumped in the water when I
heard him coming. You can see all what I still ask? Yes, yes,
of course, So you escaped easily enough, talk handed over
a greeting card for Boris. We see, that's san Francisco.
Of course, he turned and reached down onto the counter.

(19:09):
I slipped my hand under my armpit and held my
thirty eight ready in case he came up with something similar,
but only brought forth with a box marked special, and
this he expected something and handed its simming. I took
it with an knowing expression on my face, but I
didn't know if on nothing as to what it meant.
All it was was an ordinary postcard, that's all, a
picture postcard showing the Golden gate Bridge. Underneath it the

(19:31):
caption Wondrous Cities of the World, number twenty five, one, two, three, five, six,
seventy nine, San Francisco, nothing else. I was afraid my
mouth was open. What's that matter?

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Don't you know how to read the name? It's so
difficult to cook?

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Idiot, certainly I know. I was just admiring no work,
That's all it is, extending me.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Look, you better go now, you've been here noticely long time.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
We did. Well. No, of course we don't.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
I'll gopking, so I over the cost.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
There is no such thing as over cush Thank you.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
You were so well, you see like an agnificant so
do you.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
I strode out out of the street. Touching my postcard.
But I shall get inside my sleeve a moment later,
because who I saw was standing under the mystic glimmer
of a street light waiting for me was my heavy set,
mysterious friend from the ferry boat, Connolly. I turned my
head around and glanced down the other end of a
block behind me. Two other guys were there, sure, and
they advance slowly toward me with their hands raised, palms out,

(20:35):
and if they were showing me they weren't carrying guns.
I reached my hand inside for mine all the same,
but I never got to use it because Connolly rushed
me from the other side. I caught him on the
chin and.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
He went down, clattering into an ash can.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
The other two boys grabbed me and held my arms
behind me. Connolly got up, rubbing his face, and I
waited to get murdered, but no, all right, jeus bringing along,
and so they did. We didn't go far though, just
around the corner there were a little hamburger place that
had a sign on the door staying closed, although there

(21:08):
were lights inside. Finally knocked on the door and a
fellow with an apron came and opened it and locked it.
After us finally gave monod and we sat down at
a table while he brought us coffee. Stay, we've checked
on you. You seem to be okay. You stand in
good with a department. Friend. What department would that be? Friend?
This department? Hum, that's the eye who Maybe you can

(21:28):
help anyhow, we don't want you going around making a
noise and messing it up for us. So here it is.
I'm all ears. Did you ever hear of a man
called Boris Kagaminsky? No, I do not, many people have,
even in Russia. Boris Kagaminski is the top Soviet agent
of America. He's the headman. He organizes and runs everything
for them. Here I see now. He came to this
country seven years ago and vanished. They've been trying to

(21:50):
find him ever since. False passport. Of course, that didn't help.
There's nothing anywhere on Kagomensky, no pictures, not even in Russia,
no fingerprinds, nothing. Every lead we had dead end, and
then we got word last week. Go ahead, drink it off.
Oh I'm too interested. We got word last week, but
another region, an unimportant little guy name of Lubov was
on his way to San Francisco and that he would

(22:11):
definitely have to contact the Big Gun. Something could do
with a Chinese war business that only Kagaminsky is big
enough to handle. Well. Our man tailed Yu Bob all
the way out here, and then he lost him the
Oakland ferry. That didn't bother us very much. He called
us and we were waiting on this end. But then
pulls the ferry and no, Luba Lubov was a dead
man on the light boat. Right. He must have been

(22:31):
out there waiting to be content, and then he heard
Tony and his concertina, thought this might be it. And
then when he realized he made a mistake and uncovered himself,
he conk Tony on the head right, and the Soviet
contact got scared of investigations on the boat following Tony's
hugh and cry and stab Lubov. So no way back
where we started. Every passenger on that ferry was okay.
What's that you're looking at? Picture posting found a message

(22:52):
on Lubov about the International postcard shop and are greeting
for Hey, Hey, you're greeting for Boris. Boris Kargamensky say
that I bulldoze my guy and the shot thought and
they have it looks like nothing's just a picture. But
he said he he said, I could read the name.
Givemea told him gay, these numbers wonder cities of the
world number two five, one, two three, five, six seven nine. Hey,

(23:14):
wait a minute, but they put out the guy's name.
Baris all right, the oh are a legal space K
hey r G A M E N s k y.
Now I put numbers. I'll wait a minute. The top
numbers nine. Yeah, and I put one, two, three, four
five over bars and then start again one two three

(23:35):
up the nine over Cargomensky. Huh uh yeah, yeah, So
all right, I went a post current two five, one,
two three, five, six seven nine. Okay, what's two two
two is oh five s O s now cargo Minsk
one K two three A R O s K A R. Well,

(24:00):
I guess we know the rest of it. Five six
seventy nine A M E s correct correct. Oscar aims
doctor Oscar ames. But I was just thinking he was
worried about me catching pneumonia. I called Mama Pizza, and

(24:22):
from what she said, we knew where to go. We
picked him up at the emergency hospital. He was just
finishing the operation on Tony's head. Well, he watched him
through the glass, and the other young doctor standing alongside
